Years before she became the celebrated speaker and Unity minister she is today, Edwene Gaines was raising her daughter in abject poverty. Overwhelmed and terrified, she turned toward her faith for reassurance, sustenance, and finally for direction. What seemed impossible at the time, she did anyway. She gave away 10 percent of every cent that came to her, and when her income tripled in a matter of six months, she knew it was the work of God.

Dave Ramsey shares Biblical wisdom on the legacy we build with our wealth. What does the Bible really say about money? About wealth? How much does God expect you to give to others? How does wealth affect your friendships, marriage, and children? How much is "enough"? There’s a lot of bad information in our culture today about wealth - and the wealthy. Worse, there’s a growing backlash in America against our most successful neighbors, but why?

Publisher's Summary

Author Scott Alexander wants you to wake up tomorrow morning as a full-grown, 6,000-pound rhinoceros! Rhinos have purpose. Rhinos have dreams. And rhinos put everything they've got into everything they do. If you have ever thought I can do better, if you have ever felt the stirrings of rhino blood in your veins and your heart quicken at the scent of success, then you are ready. Listen to Rhinoceros Success and get charging!

Almost mired in clichés, yet brilliant

I almost quit listening to this book after the hundredth familiar motivational cliché but the curiosity and stamina of this rhino kept me going. There are some great nuggets in there, worth the read or listen. I paraphrase... Watch out for the disease of being cool - only dead animals are cool. Etc etc

The only reason I didn't give it a five star is that it's chock-full of short phrases and ideas, do this do that rather than using any sort of effective storyline.

Not impressed

People with low self esteem. People who think they are a cow in a pasture. People who need lessons from the Bible. There are a lot of Bible references.

What was most disappointing about Scott Alexander’s story?

The premise that people are either a rhinoceros or a cow. People are either hard chargers or a waste of space is what the author is really saying. People are more complicated than that. I was done with it after a couple of chapters. This was a work suggestion for me. If you're looking for motivation look elsewhere. If you're looking for a good leadership book try Turn the Ship Around by L. David Marquet.

How could the performance have been better?

The author reads the book which I normally like. The author is passionate about his material and does a good job.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Rhinoceros Success?

Good read for motivational boost!

I would consider this book a self-help book to improve your personal motivation. these books can be a little fru fru with all the positive statements and personal affirmations but just take it with a grain of salt! I like the sentiments and attitude expressed in this book and I believe that it will be beneficial for my life. assertiveness, confidence, and a positive attitude are certainly beneficial in life!
